The UPLB-Institute of Animal Science is conducting every year series of seminars on livestock and poultry, you can look for Dr. Mafeo Bejo with tel. no. (049)536-2547 or 536-3426. Our recent publication on duck raising is the Philippines Recommends for Duck Egg Production, you can purchase it (in person or thru mail) from the PARRFI, PCARRD, Los Baños, Laguna. This publication contains simple cost and return analysis of duck-based enterprises.

Re: Duck Raising

Can we be provided with a feasisbility study regarding duck raising? Where can we buy good quality chicks? How long before this will lay eggs? and until what time they will stop laying? Can we be provided with raising tips?Thank you and more power.

Re: Duck Raising

Hi everyone!

Im planning to put up duck raising for egg production. About 1000 heads. Ive already sent today a money order to PARRFI for a copy of "Philippine Recommend for Duck Egg Production". However do anyone from here knows a good and reliable source of ducks for this project? My prefered areas are Quezon and Laguna since the farm was located in Quezon province.

Re: Duck Raising

gracelandfarm,

We suggest that you get hold of the Philippines Recommends for Duck Egg Production, which costs P110. You can visit or place your order to PARRFI, PCARRD Headquarters, Los Baños, Laguna through money order.

For the list of duck farms in Pangasinan, you can refer to Dr. Jovita Datuin, DMMMSU, Bacnotan, La Union.

Re: Duck Raising

Hi Mr Moderator,

I've already sent a postal money order to PARRFI last June 06, '06 for my order of 1 pc copy of "Phil Recommend for Goat Egg Production" and 1 pc copy of "Phil Recommend for Goat Raising" but still I didnt recieve it as of this time. Can you help me to follow up to PARFFI.

Re: Duck Raising

Re: Duck Raising

Good Day to you!

Can you please advise any contact number/person to where I could buy 2000 - 3000 heads (dumalaga). Just finished the construction of my duck house in Tarlac early this month. Unfortunately, I've been looking around for a good source but to no avail.

Re: Duck Raising

Dear Moderator,

Please help me on design of duck house and also on feed mixing, since no agri store here in Palawan that sells egg. if I can produce enough eggs then we wont need to import duck eggs from other provinces. Thanks.

Re: Duck Raising

Merry Christmas & Prosperous New Year to All!

Dear Moderator,

I haven't availed this "Recommends..." book yet and I'm planning to when I get back to the Phils but my inquiry is, which one is more advisable to have a wider and deeper pond for the ducks to swim or just narrow and shallow water? Which one will be more helpful for better egg production. Tnx and more power...

Re: Duck Raising

Hello,I am from Bulacan area and I know some people who is selling 5 to 6 month old ducks. I will check the availability and will get back to you for the contact number.For the buyer, just make sure that you have enough information about the ducks before buying because lots of sellers are trying to fool, like mixing old ducks with the 4 month old duck in order for you to believe that what you bought is already laying eggs. Better if you get a trusted duck classifier (but still be careful of choosing one) who can guide you.Good luck to all!

Re: Duck Raising

Joker, I admire your intention. Too bad, malayo tayo sa isa't isa. we're on the business of selling ready to lay egg ducks. We even compromise our price just to promote this inductry. It's about time, mag focus naman sa itik, hinde ung puro manok lng heheh. Cguro makakahanap din kayo nyan sir, in one way or another. Try to check out the local govt there.

Rhoelgal, nakupo, last month we just sold 2000 ducks. D bale, can i consider you a future partner? I didn't expect that the interest is this big! thanks to those who texted and called me. rest assured that i'll keep you all posted. Good source? mahirap na po magsalita pero my team, which is actually my relatives hehe, have been in the business for 15 years and counting. We always give the best breed so to speak to our buyers and others are coming from as far as region 4 and 5.

B_andres97, great name. Anducks! If you can give me a contact number, i'll try to check if I can find u a supplier in my place, btw, where are you located po ba? If you really want to venture into this type of biz, and if fried itik is your forte, i suggest you make a great sauce. in nature, masarap itik, pero if u can make a good sauce tyak patok yan. think of kfc. good luck!

capra-hircus, a wide and not so deep pond is good for ducks, they need to drink a lot of water, eat snails or feeds and take a bath in order to lay eggs. If you meet those, expect good return from them

binoferio, like they said, ung Phil recommends for duck production would be a good reference.

Avyco, you said it right, may mga madadaya talaga. even us, nakaranas na nyan. pero kami kc, we never compromise our integrity. we believe na if you are honest, you will be led to honest people as well. You attract kc wat u think.

Re: Duck Raising

Hi Fly,Good to know that you keep your integrity in doing the business. Its just that I do not agree when you said, you attract what you think! As a business person, we should be aware and cautious about the people we are dealing.I will need around 3500 ready to lay egg ducks in July to top up with my 3500 ducklings (paalaga) right now. Do you have ducklings, probably the same age as mine (came out 1st week of Jan)? Thanks and hope to hear from you!
